In January 2025, the Cyber Resilience Center East Netherlands will launch. This initiative, supported in part by RiskStudio, is a collaboration with national and regional partners. The center helps companies in East Netherlands become more resilient against increasing digital threats.
Digital Threats Require Action
Cyber attacks pose a growing risk to Dutch businesses, with potentially significant economic and social consequences. In Overijssel and Gelderland as well, where many companies are essential in European supply chains, a cyber incident can cause serious disruptions. The Cyber Resilience Center East Netherlands offers companies the opportunity to better protect themselves against cybercrime and thus ensure the continuity of their operations.
Access to Expertise and Cyber Resilience Specialists
The center functions as a knowledge and expertise hub for organizations that work closely with SME entrepreneurs, such as:
- Business advisors
- Industry organizations
- Innovation brokers
- Account managers of public and innovative hubs
They gain access to current knowledge, practical tools and resources to effectively support entrepreneurs in their cyber resilience. Additionally, the center provides access to cyber resilience specialists for companies that want to take additional steps.
Collaboration with Strong Partners
The Cyber Resilience Center East Netherlands brings together a powerful network of national and regional partners:
- Government: Province of Overijssel, Province of Gelderland, Development Company East-NL, European Digital Innovation Hub BOOST
